The Day for All People is now less than a month away!

The Virginia Interfaith Center for Public Policy’s annual Day for All People will be held on Wednesday, Jan. 25, at the State Capitol, the General Assembly offices and Centenary United Methodist Church in Richmond. Participants can see the Commonwealth’s Senate and House of Delegates in action, hear from experts in important areas of legislative action, and meet like-minded supporters of the work that the Virginia Interfaith Center does when the General Assembly is in session.

Tickets for the Day for All People will be $30 for the day-long event, with breakfast and lunch included, with an “early bird” $5 discount if you register by Jan. 11, and $15 for students.

Registration for the Day for All People is available at: https://virginiainterfaithcenter.ourpowerbase.net/civicrm/event/info?id=3&reset=1

Our “headquarters” congregation this year will be at Centenary United Methodist Church, 411 E. Grace Street, Richmond VA 23219
